USA Orders a Series Starring Eliza Coupe from ‘Happy Endings’

The USA network may have passed on saving Happy Endings last year, but they’re giving a new show to one of Happy Endings‘ stars. USA has given a 12-episode order to Benched, a new half-hour sitcom starring Eliza Coupe, THR reports.

Benched, which was ordered as a pilot presentation in October, follows a career-driven corporate lawyer (Coupe) who has a breakdown after being passed over for a promotion and starts working as a public defender. Jay Harrington (Better Off Ted) plays her new colleague, a handsome, gambling-addicted public defender. The show was created by SNL alum Michaela Watkins, The Groundlings’ Damon Jones, and Party Down co-creator John Enbom. Enbom will serve as showrunner.
